But you can arrest Muslims if you think they're following the wrong doctrine.
The Memorial human rights organisation that Putin is trying to shut down tracks all the arrests of Muslims who are accused of belonging to "Hizb ut-Tahrir" and other banned sects that may not even exist.
Including large numbers of Crimean Tatars who are not trusted on the occupied peninsula.
And Crimean Tatar leader Mustafa Dzhemilev, who was deported by Stalin as a baby and spent time in the Gulag, has been banned from his homeland by Putin.
Singing about Putin in a church is also exempt from artistic freedom rules.

What about attacking a British town with a chemical weapon and killing a local resident?
Or having a dissident shot dead in a park in the centre of Berlin?

"The fund’s purse-strings are held by Michael Wynne-Parker, boss of the British arm of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society - an organisation accused of aiming to further Russian influence in the Middle East as US control wanes."
But Mr Wynne-Parker yesterday called those claims “absolute nonsense.”

He added: “There’s no big deal here,” he said. “It is a historical society dealing with cultural issues since 1880.”
